"Ecosystem is a manifestation of the multi-faceted landscape of natural wildlife in the world. From segments with harmonics imitating birdsongs and swarming pizzicato impersonating teeming fish in a pond, to entire sections of snap pizzicato emulating the sounds of small creatures in grass and lower harmonies representing majestic larger animals, this string quartet illustrates a portrait of the biosphere as a whole." - Joel Hoo
.
In the democratic and collaborative spirit of One Found Sound, this film blends many different layers of art and artistry into a unique, audiovisual ecosystem. Harmonizing the organic and synthetic, our live performance, images of the natural world, and footage of kinetic sculptures by artist Casey Curran are blended with AI technology to create a film that both embodies and celebrates the interconnectedness of all things.
